A remarkable day. So much explored! I feel great pride in my stealthiness. My greatest victory came from despair, however. I had made it quite far into the temple, snatching keys from enemy guards and monsters until I came to a room which only would direct me back to where I came from, via the most fearsome foe! I watched the armored knights pace for a long time, but behind me lurked only three jelly blobs. I had not fought a single creature in this dark cavernous temple. Why not at least attempt to see what I in my lowly state could do against the slithering puddles?
When I stuck the blobs, they cleaved in two and both parts continued to twitch and slide. That gave me 6 foes, but not fearsome ones, if managing to approach them as they move away. Not knowing what else to do, trapped as I was, I slew them all. When the room was cleared another key appeared! This is a secret to know. I must be able to kill all the foes to receive my rewards.
I have not noticed the same phenomena out in the fields and beaches. Curious. I wonder what magic protections linger here. Is it related to my quest?
Another fortunate discovery was again just lying on the floor. The room with spiked clappers 1 West, 2 North than 1 West again from the entrance had a compass in it. After snatching it up, the compass continues points always north east. I am unsure where exactly following its guidance will take me, but has a comforting heft.
- Day 28: Day 3 Green Temple Entrance
- Day 28: Day 3 Green Temple, 1 West
- Day 28: Day 3 Green Temple 1 West, 1 North
- I run to the center and then break left… escaping without a scratch!
- Vicious spikes clapped in, but I am fast today!
- Bats. I watch, and leave.
- I use the key while there is only one set of spikes on the wall.
- More careful sneaking! What will make that other door open? Will it come from somewhere else?
- Another key!
- Will I make it past the bats?
- I must carefully run to avoid the blobs. There is nowhere else for me to go but back.
- I watch them for a long time. I will never win. Better to test against a tamer foe?
- The jelly blobs divide into more when the are slashed, but one more slash each and they are gone!
- Blobs and spikes! I must watch my step…
- Which I don’t.
